When most people rank the Star Wars films they put Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) at the top of the list. So, what do you do if you're one of those people that doesn't like Empire Strikes Back (ESB)?

It's my personal favorite for what I call the BIG REVEAL, for those few who haven't seen it.

Not everyone agrees its the best of the series though. In fact, George Lucas says its the worst.

While many informal polls have The Empire Strikes Back at number two in the list of Star Wars movie rankings, the American Film Institute has Star Wars at number 13. In fact, ESB isn't even in the list of the top 100 when compared to Citizen Kane or Casablanca. So, what's a movie fan to do if they're in a group of The Empire Strikes Back lovers?

I'm going to throw this question to you:

If someone doesn't like Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back what should they do?

Do you think it's the best or worst of the saga?

Can you think of anything that might change someone's mind?

Let me know in the poll and the comments.

This post is part of the month long "A-Z Challenge." For the next 27 days, we'll be choosing a letter from the alphabet and crafting a post around it. To read more of the posts in the series click here here. To find out more about the challenge go here.

The only problem with it is that there was no doubt there was going to be a sequel (which was also good with the exception of those dorky Ewoks). Still, a cool, cool movie.And much better than "Howard the Duck."Found you on the challenge list.

I have a four-year-old who LOVES Star Wars. I have never seen the movies so many times in a row. And this one is good. It's funny, has lots of Darth Vader, introduces Yoda, and has one of the most famous reveals ever! It even keeps his attention the full way through, which you can't say for any of the prequels... :)
